Re: rpo codes for rear end not gear ratio
This might help. Most I have seen address the ratio in the axle, but this one does show a few about the rear itself.

Re: rpo codes for rear end not gear ratio
There were not RPOs to allow you to choose different axle brands, types or ring gear sizes. Only ratios.
All of the other design considerations were chosen for you. K

Re: rpo codes for rear end not gear ratio
Is this on the 97 K1500?
You don't have a 12 bolt unless someone swapped it in. You most likely have a 10 bolt(8.5/8.625") There is a chance you have a SF 14 bolt(9.5") if you have F44(7200 GVW) |

Re: rpo codes for rear end not gear ratio
Yes it has the f44 rpo. It is a 14 bolt my mistake. Thank you
